A young girl once approached me when I was scribbling words in my Valiant notebook, she, then asked me, "By any chance, are you a poetess?"


I paused for a minute and thought of an answer.

Was I called poet because of how great I write poems?
Or was I called a poet just because of how I could capture the attention of my listeners when I talk of love in my poems?
Or was I called a poet by any chance because I give inspirations to other people to write poems as well?

If that is the reason why I was called a poetess for a reason, then yes.


"Yes, I am a poetess" I said while smiling.

That young girl was me.

Full of curiosity and life, that everything around her pauses and stunned, some laughed and the others are amazed.

Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Frost and Ernest Hemingway influenced me, but God gave me this talent to share to the whole world my masterpiece.

If you are that young girl or boy, keep dreaming and satisfy your inner child. Learn to make him or her smile because you made it!
